do you rly want to know?
k, there is this one girl at school who i rly like but when i decide to walk up to her and attempt to ask her out, i get all nervous and decide against it...
P.S i know the girl.so normal stuff ain't a prob but i can't ask her out for the life of me.
 
Yep, you go up and ask, her saying "no" is not the end of the world.

Of course back when I was a lad, I was not a follower of my own advice and was frequently paralyzed by the thought of rejection. It all worked out fine, got the wife and kids, but if you don't ask you'll always wonder in some dark recess of your mind "what if?" On the other hand, you may remember the rejection forever, but you'll never regret asking and knowing what the answer was.
 
+1 on the pair.

Just drop something like this in the middle of the conversation "so hey, wanna grab a bite after school? There's this great (insert stuff here) restaurant that I've been wanting to go to for a while" but say it as though you were actually saying this to a dude: "dude, my arse is itching like crazy".

Actual wording may vary ;). Just go for it though.
 
Say this: "Hi, I think you're cute. Want to go out with me at some point?"

If she asks you if other people will be there, or if she asks you who else to invite, then consider it the equivalent of "No thanks."

And then hand them to her to make it official. You may as well. Once you start dating, she'll have you by the balls. Marriage is supposed to be the same, except she has a firmer grip.
 
Just... do it? You'll never know otherwise.

You really shouldn't need to post on a forum for things like this... don't you have anyone in the real world you can ask for advice??

a bit harsh of me maybe, but yeah, just get it over with.
 
Try it on a girl who is your friend but isn't your "girlfriend", but that might not work because you might feel to comfortable around her.

Rejection hurts a lot, avoid life lessons at all costs.

Ask her out through a note, with a check box for yes, no, and maybe, and ask for a prompt return of said note with check box checked.
 
Just ask her out... Don't be this Hank Williams Sr. song:

Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door.
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store.
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show,
So she could never answer "yes" or "no."

CHORUS:
Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he never got a kiss.
Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed.
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head.

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk.
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped some day he'd talk.
Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign,
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere.
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair.
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show,
So she could never answer "yes" or "no."

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid,
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-liga stayed.
Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be,
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
 
It also helps to know how she feels about you, if you are close to anyone who is good friends with her and you don't mind sharing your secret then ask your friend how she feels about you.

That's funny. :D But I have to say, there are exceptions to the rule. The OP might get lucky and find that 1 in a billion girl who will actually let him keep them balls like my wife has. Or am I just fooling myself? :(

EDIT*** Sorry for the duplicate above. My internet must have farted and caused it... If a Mod can delete that "That's Funny" post of mine above that would great. TY
 
How to ask a girl out in three easy steps

Step 1) Ask her out
Step 2) If rejected, don't let her see you crying as you walk away.
Step 3) There is no step 3!

Rinse and repeat.

....don't really do that, I was kidding.

Seriously, just carry yourself with some confidence, not arrogance. You'll be surprised what confidence can do for your overall personality.

Wait, I'm single right now... dammit...
 
Alcohol solves all... I've said some things that I would have never said sober that ended up getting me the girl. However, the next day I'm kicking myself. Love sucks, one night stands are better. You'll realize this one day, until you find that one.
 
You're probably gay, I know that's the reason I couldn't ask out girls.
 
Read this book. Published by HarperCollins on November 25th of this year called How to Talk to Girls, by Alec Greven. This is how HarperCollins describes the book:

Are you smart enough to take over a girl's heart?

Leave it to a nine-year-old to get down to the basics about how to win victory with a girl. how to talk to girls is for boys of all ages—from eight to eighty—and the girls they like. So read this book and then you're ready. Good luck!

It's a relationship advice book written by a child. If this is all publishing companies can come up with, then I say let them all die :rolleyes:

Go for it. Even if she says "No" she'll be flattered by the request and you'll be treated well. If she says "Yes" ... you know the rest....
 
If you are only 15 then you just might run into this problem. Most guys run into this when they are in high school. I've been dating my girlfriend for over 14 months. :D

He is only 15 and this girl is most likely his first time, and just fears the thought of rejection. It doesn't mean he is gay. :cool:
 
If your scared of rejection, just start texting her alot. Eventually tell her you like and her and see what she says, if she says she likes you back, your all good =] Another option would be to talk to one of her friends, but not like her best friend, and ask them if they might could find out what she thinks about you. Hope it helps, let us know how it goes.
